display file

[hpaul14]

I'm trying to write a program where you have 2 search fields, which is the part number and description. And which ever field I search by should be the first field displayed. How would i fix the display file to display the field i'm searching by

In a subfile, you can't directly condition fields. But you can use DSPATR(ND) to not display them. Use the same indicator with the opposite condition for your two fields.


A FIELD1
A 01 DSPATR(ND)
A FIELD2
A N01 DSPATR(ND)

You could make the subfile record one long continuous field and just substr the fields into place.

Assuming field1 is 10 chars and field2 is 30 and using rpgiv

if (search on field1)

eval %subst(subrec:1)=field1
eval %subst(subrec:12)=field2

else

eval %subst(subrec:1)=field2
eval %subst(subrec:31)=field1

endif

If outputting a numeric field use the %char/%editw/%editc bif's.

eval %subst(subrec:1)=%editw(field1:"0 / / &quot
